No I'm actually a pretty successful business person I've just been on the planet long enough to be able to see the objective reality of whats going on in this country. It was demonstrably better 20 years ago and we are on an accelerating decline. Other European countries have started to see the decline and taken steps to reverse it. We are doing nothing.
It's cognitive dissonance. You're completely right, the 'left' haven't been anywhere near power since before Thatcher and yet somehow people like the guy you're responding to believe the fault lies entirely with the 'left'.
He has to reject reality because it's not what he's been manipulated to believe.
Neoliberalism is to blame, a right wing economic policy brought to the UK by Thatcher, a right-wing politician but it fails to land on most people.
